Hi there everyone, I am I top/mid main (mainly darius and viktor top and mid respectively) and I have climbed to silver. Now I know it's preseason and rank doesn't really matter but i'm going to use it as a way of telling about where my skill range is. So I am in silver V, 72 LP (I wouldve gotten into my promos but I got a feeding afk troll on the last game needed to get into my promos) And I mainly focus on things like CS well: get 100 at about 15 minutes Ward: Don't have 2 in my inventory Builds: get defensive things a bit earlier if needed Kills and staying safe: knowing when you can do what CS: Now I usually focus on making sure my CS is good every game, even though I think for about my skill range I should be okay, as I usually have the best or second best cs in the game. Warding: Now while I ward, I could get more than 1 control ward in games, and ward in more optimal spots. Builds: Now I usually get the same exact build, but I change the order of it, although that isnt always the case Kills and staying safe: As Darius, I usually go really aggressive and it works, but I can mostly tell when I need to stay safer Now I know there is ALOT more to the game, but from what i've told you, what should I focus on? I know it might be hard to tell since there isn't any live gameplay, but if I had something to focus on I would feel like I am actually improving lol.

Your CS is shit, get closer to 100 at 10 minutes. Your skill range doesn't matter, you are trying to get above your skill range to climb to gold right? Wards are negligible and early game top laner its a waste of extra gold unless you have nothing else to spend it on, utilize the trinket religiously, ghost poro doesn't hurt. Builds should be slightly adjusted almost every game depending on enemy comp and if you are aheda or behind and whether you are gunning for a 25minute win or hunkering down for the long haul.

Focus on objectives. Take your tower, go snag a drag or herald or push another tower. There is ALWAYS something that needs to be taken at any point in time in a league match.

Pick one thing, if you are silver it could be anything, champ selection, CS, map awareness, objectives, team fighting. Pick one of those things and focus on improving it over the course of 10 games. Put all of your focus into that one aspect of the game. Try to get as good as you possibly can. Than after 10 games switch to one of the other things and play 10 more games focusing on that aspect. Once you have done this with every major category you can think of try combining 2 of them for 10 games. After that you should have a good idea of your strengths and weaknesses.

Who gets first turret in your games?

I know it isn't always possible, but I love it when one of my solo lanes get first turret. And Viktor and Darius are both lane bullies, so you can hopefully shove into them. Roaming is important, but I think you can start checking how much turret damage you get on your turret compared to the others/

As a fellow silver i can only make suggestions from what ive experienced. Take objectives when you can and dont get caught. If u ace a teamfight dont just reset. If there is no objectives up on the map there is no need to be getting caught out in river etc and finally dont rely on your team for shit. If they play well its a bonus but not to be expected. You have to play perfect not them. Also dont feel bad about losing games. Sometimes there is nothing you can do
